All the results of this contest will be announced in my journal on 10 April 2012

Agreement

Tom Ripley is my all-time favorite character. And this may be the only contest I'll hold in 10 years. So, I devoted a lot of points as prizes because I want to see at least 30 good works in this contest. If you think you can draw as good as the example works or even better than the example works, you are very welcome to this contest. I don't hurry. Please do your best.

This is Draw Tom Ripley Contest, so please don't draw Matt Damon from other movies or from his own self. I know the difference so well.

This is a drawing contest, not photomanipulation contest. I don't accept any work that was painted over original photo, or just put effect on original photo. Please draw the whole work by yourself.

5 Special prizes : winners will get 200 points [200 points per person]

Popular prize :

After deadline, I'll make a poll. The contestant whose work gets highest votes from viewers will also get 1,000 points. The contestant whose work gets second highest votes from viewers will also get 500 points. The contestant whose work gets third highest votes from viewers will also get 300 points.

For example : If the 1st place winner also got highest votes from viewers, he/she will totally get 5,000 points!

Note : I'll give the 1st place prize to the entry that impresses me most which may or may not be the same work that got highest votes from viewers.

There's no link in your first comment in the voting journal. You just said " I can't choose! There are too many really, really good ones.Hugs,Anj"That's all I see. So I had to mark it as spam because I wrote in the rule that comment without link as vote will be mark as spam.

Oh, yes, that was the first one and I don't blame you at all for marking that one as spam. But I added a comment with a vote last night (or very early this morning) and that one was gone too. That message was the message that you answered to get this conversation going.

I hadn't read your journal the first time and that's why I don't blame you about that one. I screwed up and it deserved to be marked as spam by your guidelines.

Even if the second message I added, the one I added last night with the link, is marked as spam, it's water under the bridge because I went back and voted again this morning.Hugs,Anj

Oh really? I didn't know about your message with a link that you said it was gone too. I've never seen it. Maybe it was because the system in dA hid it or something. However, your vote for [link] is valid in the voting journal now. You have good taste. May I ask what your 3 favorite entries in this contest are?

Well, the one I chose, of course. [link] I feel like this portrait is the most alive and the skin tones are terrific. I almost expect the portrait to start talking to me. Then this one [link] and this one [link]

I think my third choice is a bit better than the second choice. The second one has some draw-backs - the face is too narrow for example, but the portrait is more alive than any of the rest, except for the first one I picked. Hugs,Anj

Thank you. The 3 links in you gave me works only the second one. The first one is broken but I can guess you mean the one in blue shirt that you voted for. But the link you put for the third one always brings me to my own profile page. so I don't know which entry you mean. Could you give me the link of the third one again?

Hi, If you want to join my contest, please send me a new entry. This one looks like you just put some effects on the photo in computer and painted over it. You have to draw the whole thing from the start. If I misunderstood, I apologize. But I don't feel okay with this one.

I see. I have never used Gimp. I have already asked for some opinions from 2 other digital artists in dA. Both of them also agreed with me. So, if you still want to join my contest, please try it again, make it look like a pure drawing, and try not to put any effect on the work because it will make people think it's photomanipulation.
